Twenty20 is back. As loud and as brash as ever. The Oval played host to The Surrey Brown Caps battling it out with the Sussex Sharks. This was a fitting occasion and venue for a Fields House school reunion. The attendees were Lawrence, Jon, Peter, James, Alex and myself. Or to be more accurate... Larry, The Incredible Ken Jon Peel, Lynch Mob, Bakes, Bri and Bazza.
This was the first time in nearly 11 years that we had been together as a group. We have seen each other before now, but never as an entirety. Amazing how easy it is to slip back as if we had never been away. Old jokes, old nicknames, reminiscing back to the days when we knew everything. Good times. I guess when you live in each others pockets for so long, practically 24/7, then you are bound to have a special bond.
I won't bore you with a detailed acccount of the match itself. Although Sussex did win handsomely (thankfully). Now, I am still not a huge fan of Twenty20. It is not quite cricket and you come away feeling slightly seedy. A bit like seeing the woman of your dreams walk past. A nice feeling, but would be much better if you were walking with her and holding her hand, if you catch my drift. Although in this instance, I paid little attention to the actual game as there was too much to talk about and catching up took preference.
